I thought since the new season of
Lost premieres tonight, this post was timely.

Here’s a flashback for all of you.
For all of you
Lost fans out there, do you remember the last cliffhanger scene from the Season 2 Finale when two men in the arctic make contact with the missing group of travelers of Oceanic Flight 815? Turns out Penn alum
Alex Petrovitch (C'01, Member of Sigma Chi Fraternity, Men's Varsity Soccer, Men's Cycling) played one of these two men.

Besides also appearing in
The Bold and the Beautiful,
Passions &
General Hospital, Alex tells me that he’s starring in a new film called
Passage to Zarahemla, an action-adventure Mormon movie which takes place in Utah. (you can see a clip of his performance in his
reel)
The film opens in Southern California, Idaho, Hawaii, and Las Vegas this weekend. (It began its theatrical release in Utah, October 2007, and has grossed 250K at the box office thus far.)

We've seen all sorts of entertainment on Penn's campus, but this video takes it to new heights.
Back in September I saw a great video of a classic sketch that Mask and Wig did from their 2007 Free Show. It was especially fun to see how that sketch had evolved from when we did it in my day.
Did you catch actor Robert Gant (C'90, Penn Six) on last week's "Magda and Jeff" episode of Nip/Tuck?

It’s a done deal. They’re frozen.
I recently got an email from Eric Barker (C'94) a former feature writer who is currently in Boston getting his MBA and wants to leverage his entertainment/media experience in the business world.

Phyllis Zimbler Miller (WG’80)’s novel “Mrs. Lieutenant: A Sharon Gold Novel” has been nominated as a semi-finalist for the first Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award competition.
“They had their whole lives to look forward to if only their husbands could survive Vietnam.
In the spring of 1970 – right after the Kent State National Guard shootings and President Nixon’s two-month incursion into Cambodia – four newly married young women come together at Ft. Knox, Kentucky, when their husbands go on active duty as officers in the U.S. Army.
Different as these four women are, they have one thing in common: Their overwhelming fear that, right after these nine weeks of training, their husbands could be shipped out to Vietnam – and they could become war widows.
Sharon is a Northern Jewish anti-war protester who fell in love with an ROTC cadet; Kim is a Southern Baptist whose husband is intensely jealous; Donna is a Puerto Rican who grew up in an enlisted man’s family; and Wendy is a Southern black whose parents have sheltered her from the brutal reality of racism in America.”
One review from the Amazon book page for MRS. LIEUTENANT:
“All the books and movies I've seen about the Vietnam War are from the point of view of men. So it's really exciting to have a book that focuses on the point of view of women during that tumultuous time, and even more so women whose husbands have just voluntarily joined the army. I particularly appreciated the news items at the beginning of each chapter so that the context of the women's world is clear. And I enjoyed reading the information about how to be a good officer's wife. Taken all together, I think this is a unique and important look into a specific segment of women during a divisive period in American history.”
